Some executive noticed that they can’t sell you larger cloud storage if you haven’t used it up.

Then someone on the office copilot team said they wished they had access to more comprehensive data about what people write with office apps and the rest is history.

You’re right.

What’s a left leaning site that has lots of ‘adult’ or ‘harmful’ content?

Dude, it’s very simple. Homelessness is caused by poverty.

I don’t know about your country, but here in the UK, over half of homeless people are adults who were previously in the care system. I told you this and you clearly didn’t listen: if you’re in the care system, when you hit 18 your family placement evaporates and if you don’t already earn enough to pay private sector rent, you’re homeless. I don’t know about you, but I wasn’t financially independent of my parents until I was in the second half of my twenties and it’s much harder now than it was when I was starting out. Good luck getting a job and claiming benefits if you don’t have an address.

Say after me: if you don’t have parents or family to stay with, and you can’t make rent, you’re stuffed. It pisses me off when people treat homelessness as a character defect rather than a complete failure of society to care for those who can’t cope. Fuck right off with your judgementalism.

It’s all very well you sitting on your comfy sofa declaring that they have brought it on themselves and and that if they only cut down on the narcotics they’d have enough for a nice little apartment somewhere, but your cosy little plan isn’t going anywhere on the hard pavement at 2am when some lads piss on the homeless guy’s sleeping bag because, like you, they think is his fault, because you have no fucking clue and your holier than thou moralising about how you’d definitely stay squeaky clean if you ended up on the street being kicked night after night and treated as non existent day after day is BULLSHIT.

I think the person who you’re replying to wasn’t laughing at people with addiction problems at all, rather they were pouring scorn and skepticism on the idea that some wonder drug can fix all the problems of people who end up with drug addictions.

Let’s take homeless people for example (who are frequently people who were in the care system as children, so don’t have parents or relatives to go back and live with when money gets too tight).

All the things that I do to cope with my (much less serious) problems, like chill on the sofa on my phone, take a long bath, go for a nap on my bed, hang out with my friends at the pub, talk it all over with my wife or my dad, none of those are open to them. Sleeping rough is painful. How do you escape that?

So to expand on what @gibmiser@lemmy.world said, if you treat the drug addiction of a homeless person on its own, you will completely and utterly fail to treat the drug addiction problem.

If everything is the way you like it, you are winning. Keep on winning.

Oh that’s a bit underhand, especially when they must be well aware that snap can be unpopular.

Top notch stepdad.

Amazon is the most efficient money extraction machine from people in history and AWS is the most efficient money extraction machine in history from businesses. Musk is better at extracting money from the US government, which is why he’s richer than Bezos.

I’ll not sure I see the parallel.

Truth is definitely a bit of a blind spot for LLMs.

I’m the former prime minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Tony Blair. Who are you?

Leaving the EU is one of the stupidest self harming things we ever did.

In which nation is energy generation not using vast natural resources at huge initial outlay where companies have a boner for monopolising or cartels and exploiting scarcity to drive up prices?

Side note: DARPA’s TCP/IP networky thing seems to have had some future in it!

Traitors to the constitution, traitors to democracy, traitors to free and fair elections, traitors to the founding fathers, traitors to the people and even traitors to the union and the flag. What were you waiting for them to betray before you call them traitors?

You invent so much of my side of the conversation. You argue with what you’d prefer I had said because it’s so easy to disagree with and knock down. You’ve invented this whole nonsense viewpoint and life history for me just so you can come across as more sensible. But it’s insane because it has almost nothing to do with what I said and everything to do with your prejudices and your inability to have some self control over your judgementalism and your condemnatory impulses.

You’ve gotta be rightwing.

Bad people who make bad choices deserve all the bad things that come their way and some more flung at them by you just to show them how wrong they are? That’s where you’re coming from here.

Congratulations on ignoring literally everything I said and arguing with some fictitious person who is “body positive” about obesity or who doesn’t think it’s a problem. I mean, I’ve come across straw man arguments before, but this one takes the biscuit.

You think your hate and contempt can fix other people, but you’re very, very, very wrong. I wouldn’t be surprised if you shout at homeless people or at last rant about them for half an hour behind their backs.

Also congrats on completely, utterly and comprehensively falling the self control challenge I set you.

Turns out your self control in some things is at absolute zero.

Still really proud of yourself? I bet you really are, because you’re not very introspective so far today.

Obesity is literally a self control issue.

You sound like you don’t believe in ADHD “just finish what you started, have some impulse control!“, or autism “read the room, don’t be so literal and stop getting distracted by noise and light, just ignore it”.

It night be plausible that most people can just avoid the first cigarette or the first spliff or the first anything, but no one can avoid food, and some people’s biology, their hormonal balance, their brain chemistry, mental health, shit, just their metabolic rate can make them have a very, very different order of magnitude of problems with food.

So it’s easy for you to have self control around food and balance your calorie intake with exercise? Great, good for you, but stop acting all morally superior for not having problems in your life.

Get lost with that judgemental “it’s simple” shit and try to learn a bit of self control yourself over what kind of nasty judgementalism you’re spouting online without thinking about other people.

They may have come to this decision through experience.

Having used it a bit, I find it’s like someone a bit stupid with a lot of time on their hands, but no knowledge, saying “I’ll learn everything you need to know from Google and write you an answer”, just speeded up a lot. And just as frustrating.
